okay, the couch unfortunately is not big... imagine that? I'm not making it up either.... my damn couch is some old victorian thing that will only fit one lying down....so that means one's gotta go on top....

I've never said that, or anything close to it. And you talk about others twisting words.

A world without drugs would be ideal, but that world is nowhere in sight. People love drugs - mostly alcohol. What I have said is that we if can handle the deadly drug alcohol, we most certainly can handle the far safer drug pot, and people shouldn't be put in jail for it. And I will continue to say it - until the laws change.

The last time I checked, this is a discussion forum. If my posts bother you - don't read them. It is, after all, your boyfriend who sings - "everybody must get stoned". I don't go that far. Lighten up.

I know this is a bit off topic, and I know I have posted it before... however, I'd like to share it again... but first... do the huge farts have anything to do with your peanut butter consumption? If it does... guess what:

If you suck in and gulp your fart in while breathing in through your nose all at the same time, you can taste your fart... if it was a smelly one to begin with....

I noticed this once by being in a casino. I was breathing in with my mouth and nose and this guy farted... I had the unfortunate pleasure of eating a stranger's excess gas.

You should apply for a government grant to study you findings in depth..... but you might have trouble getting test subjects for the breath in part.

You sure like my attention, don't you?

You know, 'my boyfriend', if you want to call Bob that, is a chain smoker of cigarrettes as well. I oppose to that, too. It's just as deadly, and people know it full well. 'My boyfriend' is also concerned these days not to be presented in the media as a user of illicit substances. 'My boyfriend' sings, 'they'll stone ya' - nowhere does it say, do it to yourself. These are his exact words. Of course, that doesn't suit your interpretation.

Oh, and last time I checked, the terms of use said members are guests to this forum. They don't get to make their own rules.

Oh, no worries, he is a 'zimmermann' by birth. He knows how to build furniture. If not, well I guess you'll have ways to convince him to buy you a new one. A big new one. We just need to let go of his hands long enough so he can sign the check.

I still don't see where it says, 'stone yourself'. It does not say so. It is the most popular interpretation, you might reasonably claim it is the intended message, but it's obviously deliberately vague.

I don't know where "here" is...or "there" for that matter...so I have no opinion. Except pot should surely be legal. What a crime that I can buy a bottle of whiskey on every corner. That stuff kills, is addictive, and makes you puke too Anyway, back to dylanego's quiet friend.

I don't believe Dylan is two people, I believe he is very slow to allow people to see his real self. There was an interview with an engineer on TOOM (I think) talking about how he finally got to know Dylan a bit and one day they were sitting there talking and Dylan was as normal as can be, and then someone else came in the room and he became Mr. Reclusive Weirdo. It's a defense mechanism, imo.

He was able to communicate and talk just fine when he wanted to get those record deals and gigs during the early 60's. I even remember someone on NDH commending his ability to pick out the right person and to manipulate (might be a harsh choice of words) them into getting what he wanted. I think the whole mumbling, reclusive rock star act is more of a posturing/attitude thing. Remember, Dylan is very good at maintaining his public image.

Besides, every celebrity is somewhat detached from the average Joe, that's no reason to go around diagnosing them. In fact, if we're diagnosing him, I'd put my money on sociopathy over Asperger's.

Or a borderline personality disorder.

Quote:

The disorder typically involves unusual levels of instability in mood and black-and-white thinking, or splitting. BPD often manifests itself in idealization and devaluation episodes and chaotic and unstable interpersonal relationships, self-image, identity, and behavior; as well as a disturbance in the individual's sense of self. In extreme cases, this disturbance in the sense of self can lead to periods of dissociation.

Or an histrionic personality disorder

Quote:

characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval and inappropriately seductive behavior, usually beginning in early adulthood. These individuals are lively, dramatic, vivacious, enthusiastic, and flirtatious.

Or anything. It imposible to put a diagnosis by pic.I can agree with you about the only thing - if he was an absolutely ordinary person, he wouldn't be Bob Dylan.
